Edvard Grieg, Flash Mob, "Peer Gynt", Bachus Classic Orchestra, Beethoven Symphony 9 Ode to joy

[@Madeinchinaagain]

KZbin has taught me that if a bassist randomly shows up in a public place, he didn’t come alone.

[@patsycav]

We should have this in every country in every huge mall or in parks around the world. Make music, not war. Bless these angels who work so hard to become the wonderful musicians they are, and for bringing us their music.Long life to them.

[@Corinthian44]

I absolutely agree Pat , I've never been fortunate enough to be present at any Flash Mob offerings , but I totally support the concept .

[@centurion_ceasar]

But daddy! I want war!

[@petereiso5415]

yes. yes. lets make it so common and mundane that it becomes meaningless

[@henkmarks8856]

So enjoyable....

[@Cron0s91]

3:17 That guy on the back walking on the tip of his toes with his kids really get it! This track was used in lots of old cartoons and it was almost always like that, tippy toes and the BAM, chaos lol

[@dsatt57]

I love when orchestras do this. The surprise, spontaneity, and suspense of what will happen next is so fun & hopefully gets kids interested in the music and the instruments!

[@lenbuckholtz2740]

THIS is not spontaneous. not are the piano players presented all over the net. These folks are practiced professionals, and they do this to present their craft and art to the world, and it allows them to 'advertise' what they do and how WELL the do it. and yes, it should be done all over. i really like it.

[@dsatt57]

@ I’m not saying the performance was spontaneous, it took a lot of work to put it together. For the audience it felt spontaneous and magical. I’m hoping that kids will see that playing these pieces can be fun and it will spark an interest.

[@FelicianaDelacruz]

This was the most enjoyable 7 minutes of my day so far. And I loved that guy walking his kids to the beat. Great performance, thanks so much for sharing it with everyone.

[@mothmagic1]

That was priceless. What a way to give your children n early appreciation of classical music

[@CeileidhsMom]

I arranged In the hall of the Mountain King as a bass duet in high school almost 20 years ago, and this is the closest I have ever heard it with the bassist and a bassoonist... you two rocked!!! I played both those instruments, and appreciate the joy you bring!

[@SGTPaul-0891]

Why can't I just ONCE run into one of these? Guess I need to vacation in Europe.

[@Janinix90]

I have lived in three different European countries (so far) and I've never been fortunate enough to witness an orchestra flashmob :(

[@paris7304]

I am living in Paris and have never had any chance of running into any flash mob like this

[@Tripserpentine]

or buy a ticket to a concert, anywhere on this planetXD

[@anette-ze1sf]

start singing in a choir, that will do it - performing as a part of a choir together with an orchestra is the greatest thing I ever experienced. you don't need to be a professional - anyone can do it.

[@nikolaaston5239]

Just make sure you go somewhere nice, avoid England and Eastern Europe like the plague.

Я так рада, что есть люди, которые несут музыку "в мир"! Не все могут попасть на концерт таких знаменитых оркестров. Но, могут послушать этих исполнителей просто на улице, на площади... Такие флешмобы очень нужны для людей. Слава оркестрантам, несущим красоту музыки!

[@timeforthinkers7418]

Sure wish this(flash mob) hadn't gone out of vogue. Good music is good for the soul. It uplifts and regenerates. Thanks to all the musicians and dancers who have participated in these wonderful "surprises" for the public!

[@mpolin4]

[@JacquelineFox-xo6jn]

I actually love the bits where the bells come in

[@almostfm]

I just like the fact that the bassist got some money for tuning up.

[@Bachusorchestra]

What about doing concert by tunning only next time :P

[@TheYasmineFlower]

I like that he looks kinda like Mister Bates from Downton Abbey. Which left me seriously confused at the beginning. o.o

[@OatmealDonk]

I would have given him money just for him being bothered to carry that huge ass "guitar" like thing into town :-D I play piano and I feel like that ways more than my keyboard an pa system combined. :-D

[@almostfm]

James Ray Basses aren't that bad--I used to play one. They are, after all, mostly air :-) If you've got to carry one for a ways, you put your hand at the bottom of the upper bout (the wide part at the tope of the body), and where it curves in forms a ledge, tilt it back slightly so the neck is behind you, and it's pretty well balanced. I wouldn't want to walk a couple of miles carrying one, but it's not hard for a reasonable distance.

[@almostfm]

James Ray They're typically 20-30 pounds, depending on how it's kited out, whether it's a 3/4 size or full-size, etc. It's roughly twice the weight of a bass guitar. Because the body has so much volume, it's "clunky" more than "heavy".

[@blitz9196]

That’s what makes me love Europe.

Hall of the Mountain King is one of my faves. I learned a piano version years and years ago and it was always a favorite to play, and as a performance at piano recitals.

I just wished one day we could have an orchestra in Nigeria, i so much love it.

[@davidogutu9110]

I'm sure they have them. Check the local conservatoire

[@howardwayne3974]

Nigeria ???? Sure . if your greedy government ever decides to do something for the people instead of stuffing their own pockets . OR , maybe you could ask one of the hundreds of Nigerian " princes " that have all those millions of dollars stuck in a Nigerian bank that they so very much need help in getting out of the country . hahahaha.

[@thedagnerzone]

I absolutely love In the hall of the mountain King. It's my favorite classical song. I have been playing upright bass/bass guitar since September 2015, and it is by far my favorite instrument.

[@richardwebb2348]

it is not a 'song' - no voice, no words

[@mshavisham8964]

@@richardwebb2348 You know what he meant though right? So no need for being snippy. In The Hall of the Mountain King is an orchestral piece that does also have a choral version. Oh wait.. that kind of makes the other guy right Mr. Know-it-all. Don't be mean in trying to make yourself feel superior.

[@shonnyNOR]

More music (like this), and less aggression, so we all can enjoy life!

Of course, “In the Hall of the Mountain King” depicts bloodthirsty trolls who wants to kill an intruder and then eat him. No aggression there.
